What We Do
846s.org does not operate as a collection of disconnected programs. Our experiences are connected through the Human Experience Ecosystem, a community centered framework that helps people move from reflection to capability, from capability to contribution, and from contribution to leadership.
We help participants understand emotions, recognize patterns, develop empathy, strengthen communication, manage challenges, and build healthier relationships. African Inspired Emotional Intelligence brings the five pillars of Emotional Intelligence into conversation with African proverbs, storytelling, cultural wisdom, community responsibility, and lived experience.
Learn MoreYoung people practice leadership by facilitating conversations, mentoring peers, demonstrating technology, solving problems collaboratively, engaging with elders and business owners, and contributing to community projects. Leadership develops through participation, responsibility, reflection, and visible action.
Learn MoreParticipants build drones, practice safe flight, prepare for FAA Part 107 certification, plan missions, explore aerial photography and mapping, and investigate career and entrepreneurship pathways. Drone education serves as both a technical doorway and a human development experience.
Learn MoreMentoring provides trusted relationships through which participants can ask questions, process challenges, develop confidence, plan next steps, and learn from people with different experiences. Participants can eventually become peer mentors, allowing knowledge and encouragement to circulate throughout the community.
